Bad roundabout habits from drivers in Milton Keynes cause heated debate on social media

The popular Milton Keynes Moan Facebook page this week published a diagram from a man showing which lanes drivers SHOULD use when they navigate the many city’s roundabouts.

One wag immediately doctored the diagram to show how some motorists actually tackle the roundabouts, cutting up other drivers in the process.

"I’ve just redrawn this map with MK roundabout experiences from idiots, mostly in pimped up Corsas,” he said.

A third driver posted another version showing driver ignoring the road markings completely and going straight across the roundabout.

Readers agreed and posted dozens of moans about the bad driving habits they’ve witnessed while navigating the city’s 130 plus roundabouts.

“The most common one is that the blue car will probably just take a straight line and cut the red car up,” said one driver.

"And for the love of god indicate left when you exit,” said another. “ So annoying when people are still indicating right making me wait unnecessarily.”

Some roundabouts, particularly three laners, are worse than others for mistakes, it was decided.

Try the roundabout by McDonald’s on the A5. Every time I use that roundabout someone gets it wrong. The signs clearly state what lane to use but I guess nobody looks at those,” posted one driver.

"What about the ‘roundabout’ where B&Q used to be in Bletchley... Whoever came up with that one needs their bumps felt.. And don't get me started about traffic lights on roundabouts...” said another.
